BJP firm on Fadnavis as Maharashtra CM despite Shinde’s resistance

The BJP is pushing to reinstate Devendra Fadnavis as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister, despite opposition from its ally, the Shiv Sena. The NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction supports Fadnavis’s return. While the Shiv Sena prefers Eknath Shinde to remain CM, the BJP’s substantial majority and support from the Pawar faction strengthen their position.
